1. All in the silent night,
Numberless angels bright
Came on their wings of light,
Thronging the deep blue sky;
Beautiful songs they sang,
Wonderful echoes rang;
Glory to Christ our King,
Glory to God on high.

2. Join in the song so sweet,
How with the shepherds meet,
Haste to the Saviour's feet
Worship the Child divine;
Come with the men of old,
Nor let the heart withhold
Aught of its purest gold;
All to the King resign. [Chorus]

3. Broken the shades of night;
Hail to the Dayspring bright!
Spreading the blessed light,
Tell of a Saviour born,
Till all mankind shall see
Mercy, so great and free,
Till on this earth shall be
Dawn of eternal morn. [Chorus]
